The Iconic Slayer Steps Into a Medieval Warzone in 2025’s Bloodiest FPS

The DOOM series is back again — and this time, it’s darker, grittier, and more brutal than ever. Doom: The Dark Ages, released in May 2025, is not your regular demon-slaying sci-fi shooter. Instead, it takes us back to an ancient world filled with castles, dungeons, monsters, and an angry Slayer armed to the teeth.

In this review by Mobile Gaming, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Doom: The Dark Ages — without complicated gaming terms.

What’s New in Doom: The Dark Ages?

Unlike the previous DOOM games, this one drops the futuristic setting. No spaceships, no labs — just an old, haunted world full of horror and magic.

You play as the DOOM Slayer, a warrior chosen to fight against Hell’s army. But now, you also serve a kingdom, ride a massive dragon-like beast, and fight demons with both guns and brutal medieval weapons.

This isn’t just another sequel — it’s a full-on prequel to 2016’s DOOM and DOOM Eternal.

Gameplay: Fast, Bloody, and Addictive

If you’ve played DOOM before, you know it’s all about speed and aggression. Doom: The Dark Ages keeps that spirit alive, but adds new layers:

  • Shield Saw – A brand new weapon that acts as both shield and buzzsaw. You can block attacks or slice through enemies.
  • Mace and Flail – Heavy melee weapons perfect for smashing big demons.
  • Classic Guns Return – The Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Plasma Rifle are all back — louder and meaner.

Combat is still very fast. You’re constantly moving, dodging, and attacking. But now, you also get to parry enemy blows like a sword-fighting game. It’s intense, and it feels great when you pull it off.

Graphics and Performance

The game looks stunning on both PC and consoles. From dark forests to ruined castles, the world design is gritty and beautiful. Lighting and shadows make everything feel more scary and real.

Whether you play on a high-end gaming PC or a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, the performance is solid. Load times are short, frame rates are smooth, and the game runs without bugs (so far!).

Story and Setting

Doom: The Dark Ages takes place in a world ruled by knights, gods, and demons. The story shows how the DOOM Slayer became the terrifying force he is today.

You’re not alone either. You’ll get help from Sentinels (think of them as demon-fighting warriors), and even ride a giant flying creature during boss fights. Yes, you can ride a beast and shoot fireballs at flying demons. It’s wild.

The game’s tone is darker, more serious, and a bit emotional — which is new for a DOOM game.

What People Are Saying

  • IGN calls it “the boldest DOOM game ever made.”
  • GameSpot says it’s “a thrilling mix of old-school action and new ideas.”
  • On Steam and Xbox Store, early reviews are mostly 9/10 or higher.

Gamers in India are also buzzing about it on social media — especially fans who loved God of War and Elden Ring. This game feels like a mix of both, with a DOOM twist.

Final Words from Mobile Gaming

Doom: The Dark Ages brings back everything fans love — fast shooting, heavy metal music, and epic bosses — but adds a unique medieval setting and smart new gameplay mechanics.

If you love action games that are fun, tough, and full of surprises, this one is worth every rupee.
